Something you don't see often is this, a HMA.8 Development Lynx. I chose to make the first of 8 CTS aircraft, being XZ236. She was originally a HAS.2, until getting fitted with a seaspray, seaowl and other various equipment used on the HMA.8 in 1989. She still used the engine/gearbox system of a HAS.2, with steel blades and Anti-clockwise tail rotor, possibly getting upgraded later in the program with GEM-42s and CMRBs. I used the 1/72 Airfix Navy Lynx MK.8 (2001) kit and it was an interesting one. So the parts to make a HAS.2/3 parts were fine, the parts to make 'super lynx' were pretty terrible. They are made out of some lighter, softer plastic, that fit horribly. Some mods that i did do was on the engine cowling as imo its a slightly wrong shape. I needed to use a Hobby boss PID as I knocked off the kit one and it disappeared I did come across some problems but did try to resolve them.

I was most impressed recently looking at a copy of Merrick and Kiroff's ...and wanted to draw upon the collected expertise of the forum to discover if there is an RAF equivalent to this volume (in terms of the sheer level of detailed analysis provided in the above) anyone could recommend that covers roughly the same historical period? I'm not looking for any of the general visual guides to unit markings or painting guides for modellers (of which there are plenty) but a detailed scholarly analysis like the above that deals with the historical and technological development, industrial painting procedures and operational factors etc. and is well-referenced/illustrated. Any book references would be most gratefully received. Thanks for reading this. Tony
